Using the Paper Tear-Off Feature
This feature permits you to set your ML380 to automatically advance continuous-feed paper to the
tear-off position after it finishes printing the last page in your document. This lets you tear off the
last printed page without wasting paper or readjusting the printer. When the printer again receives
data to print, it automatically brings the paper back down to the preset top of form position for
printing.
This feature can only be used with continuous-form paper fed in from the rear on the built-in push
tractor. It cant be used with the optional pull tractor installed.
To activate this feature:
1.Make sure the printer is selected (SELECT light ON). If not, press the SELECT button.
2.Press the FONT and PITCH buttons simultaneously. This will place the printer in the Menu mode.
The SELECT light will go off and Menu Mode will print.
3.Press the GROUP button until the following line prints out:
Vertical ControlLine Spacing 6 LPI
4.Press the ITEM button to advance the menu selection to Form Tear-Off. The menu setting should
be Off. (If its On, you already have Form Tear-Off engaged and you should press the SELECT
button to exit the Menu mode.)
5.Press the SET button once. This will change the menu setting for Form Tear-Off from Off to On.
You now have the paper tear-off feature engaged.
6.Press the SELECT button to exit the Menu mode.
With the paper tear-off feature engaged, when the printer receives data, the paper automatically
moves down to your selected top of form position to print. A few seconds after the printing stops,
the printer will move the paper up to the tear-off position, aligning the perforation with the serrated
edge on the access cover. You can then easily remove the printed page by simply tearing it off
against the access cover.
